Well said. But, you know, with all its moons and rings, Saturn is way cool-looking than any other planet in our Solar System. That's why they called it that way, I guess.
Perhaps from a huge distance, but I think we win the title on any other scale. Earth is pretty stunning.
It's like the school playground arguments over which computer is better, the Amiga or Atari ST again. Only this time with planets. Imho Earth is better; it has a blitter... I mean liquid water oceans...
without having travelled to other planets its pretty premature to have any opinion.
Saturn also has way cooler moons. Enceladus with jets of water. Titan with lakes and a thick atmosphere. Mimas, which looks like the death star.
It's hard not to find Saturn intriguing, the rings, the colors, the moons. It's the first time I saw something through a telescope that was awe inspiring. It almost seemed cartoonish with it's vibrancy and sharp edges. It's enough to make anyone want to take up astronomy.
yeah. I also found seeing the moons of jupiter around jupiter pretty amazing. can kind of see how galileo came to the conclusions he did.
